Not sure if you woudl be interested, but.....You might check out the 
NCVS for a slightly different source of information (not based only on 
formal reports). Not sure if they have 2004 statistics yet. Did find a 
few reports that might be of interest. Am pasting in the links and 
descrition of the project. 

Good luck,

National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is the Nation's primary 
source of information on criminal victimization. Each year, data are 
obtained from a nationally representative sample of 42,000 households 
comprising nearly 76,000 persons on the frequency, characteristics and 
consequences of criminal victimization in the United States. The survey 
enables BJS to estimate the likelihood of victimization by rape, sexual 
assault, robbery, assault, theft, household burglary, and motor vehicle 
theft for the population as a whole as well as for segments of the 
population such as women, the elderly, members of various racial 
groups, city dwellers, or other groups. The NCVS provides the largest 
national forum for victims to describe the impact of crime and 
characteristics of violent offenders.
